* **Why is this necessary:** To ensure a smooth staking experience, you need to have a minimum of **0.01 BTC** available along with the necessary gas fee required for executing transactions on the Bitcoin network. Gas fees cover the cost of processing transactions on the blockchain. Additionally, we recommend having at least **0.05 BTC** if staking for less than **1 month**. This buffer accounts for potential network congestion, where transaction gas prices may exceed the earned staking reward.

Your Bitcoin remains safely stored in the staking address controlled by your private key, unaffected by staking. We’re actively working with wallet partners to support this display of your assets in a timely manner.

3. **Considerations for Locking Periods**

4848
* **Important reminder:** Once you lock your Bitcoin for staking, it's inaccessible until the staking period concludes.
4949
* **Choosing wisely:** We advise selecting your locking period thoughtfully, taking into account your investment objectives and risk tolerance. Starting with shorter locking periods can help you become familiar with the process before committing to longer durations.
